I bought one from a group purchase here. I received it earlier this year but still haven't found time to shoot it. I'm heading up to the range tomorrow. I'll give it a try & let you know how well it performs.

I received my C drum Saturday night. I can't wait to try mine out either. http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/woot.gif

Well the reviews are encouraging... I'm still on the fence about buying one unless I can mount a bipod on the fore grip somewhere. http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/huh.gif

I never had any problems with my L drum... http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/huh.gif

Well the year has passed. Is there any word on when this new drum is going to be available?

I strongly advise that you update your email filters to filter out all email coming from cashette.com & gaweb.com. Also add .de (Germany) & .ru (Russia) to your active filters. I admin a small Corvette board and 99% of the spam hitting us is coming from one of those 4 addresses. Cashette.com is an anonymous email server that pays its members to accept spam. gaweb.com is another anonymous email server. Spammers aren't very bright. German & Russian email addresses for people with locations in the US are dead giveaways.

Excellent pictures of a beautiful gun. http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/woot.gif

Bob if I ever run into you I owe you dinner. I sat back & thought, how the heck am I going to remove this drum? I decided to use the back part of a pair of gemological tweezers to push the lever upwards. But what was I going to use to get the bolt back? I don't have any fishing line.... Well I took a look at the bolt & especially the notch in it.... I then took a rubber grip screwdriver & laid it in the notch. The top of the screwdriver was easier to grip with my Palmolive hands & slowly I forced the bolt back as I raised the lever. It held! http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/woot.gif I was able to depress the magazine catch & ease the drum out. Now I want to shoot it some more but the range is closed. http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif Thanks for giving me a kick in the pants. http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/hail.gif Chris

QUOTE (Bob @ Nov 27 2006, 09:26 PM) If you don't have the dexterity to hold the actuator back with one hand/gun between the legs and the other hand pulling the drum out while depressing the mag catch...tie the actuator back with a piece of line. http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif Then go out and buy a full auto 28 to avoid those problems altogether http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/woot.gif QUOTE (Bob @ Nov 27 2006, 09:26 PM)If you don't have the dexterity to hold the actuator back with one hand/gun between the legs and the other hand pulling the drum out while depressing the mag catch...tie the actuator back with a piece of line. http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif Then go out and buy a full auto 28 to avoid those problems altogether http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/woot.gif http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/laugh.gif I wish I could get a full auto but I live in one of the most repressive counties in NC. http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/sad.gif

with the new extractor installed & a few older 30 round magazines. I will have to file them because they wouldn't engage the catch. The only one that worked was the Kahr 30 round stick. When I say it worked I don't mean that I was able to fire every bullet. It jammed on every other bullet. http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/mad.gif I had the L drum with me & decided to give that a try. It worked flawlessly! http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif I shot the whole drum & shredded a target. Then when I tried to remove the drum I realized that the third hand wasn't in the range bag. http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/sad.gif So as of right now the drum is still firmly in place on the gun as it seems I have lost the third hand. http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/soapbox.gif Can anyone give me a recommendation as to a possible way to remove the drum?

You can put me down for 1 C drum as well. http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/woot.gif When my shop called Kahr to order my extractor Kahr told them that they could ship my L drum back to them & that they would upgrade it to the new design. I'll give it a try & see what happens. Hopefully not http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/nutkick.gif

I spoke with the folks at the gun shop a few minutes ago & it seems that the new extractor has arrived as well. Hopefully I'll be fully functional tomorrow.

I just received the new rear picitanny rail from Doug Richardson for my Thompson in the mail today! http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/hail.gif I just wish the folks at Kahr would get off their butts & ship me the new extractor. http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/soapbox.gif

I guess I'll be learning some gunsmithing skills. http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/woot.gif
